March 22, 2016 a few days at the bottom
after the attack of grand bassam
bombs explode in Brussels and a
johan friend is missing
we do not know if he’s alive if he
died we are devastated
and I realize that my life has
switched
I feel powerless
power is something that I
know
every day I am confronted with my
physical emotional limits and
mental mental are the most
difficult we heard a lot
little voice you know her too the
little voice that says you’re not enough
you do not have enough knowledge
who do you think You Are
you are too young and too little
[Music]
and my sense of helplessness grew
for a long time he grew up with
attacks he grows up with the wars and
grown up with intolerance and it happens
a highlight on March 22, 2016
at 9:11 exactly when yoann is killed at
two steps from home
what to say
what to do
how to engage without violence in
remaining who I am
how to make sense of all this
how do you make sense of all this
I write poetry
so the next day I have to write
otherwise I implode
and I share this poem with the friends of
yoann who are affected and they me
request to publish it online online
to share it and at noon the poem
is shared for the first time and
then translates them first in Italian and
it is shared and translated and shared
translated again and again
and today it exists in 69 languages
but also thanks
raymonde evelyne and marceline
there is also a multilingual version
Ivory Coast
thank you to her this poem decidedly
crosses boundaries boundaries
geographical
he’s going to touch the hearts of dozens of
thousands of people
so this poem I want to share it
with you too
I chose love even the heavy heart
same broken blade
I chose love even under bombs
I chose love because the world is
not just torn my little country
I’m pretty good I’m pretty
security but the whole world
every day I choose love and I
draws in his light the strength to stay
standing to transform violence for
end wars
I chose the love for our children
be safe for our friends to be at
the shelter for our borders to open
I chose love even the heavy heart
even the soul in pain I chose love
it’s the love I choose
this poem reconnects me with the whole
power of love
he also reminds me that I have a talent
a super power for almost 40
years poetry and I understand that I
can put my talent in the service of
humanity and that like that I can
to engage without violence and remaining
who I am
this poem game use it as a mantra
to inspire me with the decisions and for
orient my actions for example I
cross in the street next to my house a
man he is trying to cram
a piece of furniture in his car is a
stranger I mean by that I do not
do not know him I’m a little scared but
I want to help him
I do not dare then I think about poems
and I challenge them and he accepts my
help a little surprised anyway but great
thankful
and if today I dare to bring a
help very small all limited to
hundreds of people arriving
from africa coming from the middle east to
brussels exhausted martyred traumatized
it is thanks to this sentence that resonates
in me I chose love then
maybe you too want to
to reconnect with this all
power of love with your
inner power and I propose you
to do it together
and for that to put your feet well at
ground to properly install yourself
comfortably
but if you want you can close
eyes or not that’s like you
want
and then remember with a
inspiration a great aspiration
remember this little phrase this
little negative voice that says you have
not enough strength
you’re not it’s good
with each inspiration getting into a
moment of helplessness get into one of
your limits
[Music]
and watch what happens to
inside of you
do you have any tensions in
the body or
do you have your throat knotted
maybe the breathing blocked when
you think about your limits
[Music]
do you have sweaty hands
lead legs
so when you’re there you’re there
It’s comfortable
then you can quietly speak
to your helplessness and tell him I
chose love in yourself tenderly
caress your helplessness
I choose the words
I chose love to your limits
[Music]
I chose love to this little voice
who says to do better
you are not able
I chose love with more and more
of conviction with more and more of
tenderness
and maybe little by little you
become aware
[Music]
that you are much bigger and well
bigger than your helplessness
you are much bigger and much more
great than your limits
and with this sentence I chose love
you can continue to take
awareness of your all-powerful
[Music]
and have both your coexist
power and your helplessness
because she has a role too
knowing that you are much more
that just our power or just your
incapacity
so you can thank you
thank you very
to have spoken to your helplessness
thank her for being here
reading it in this magic formula
that you have akwaba
and to continue this experimentation
I propose to you all to rise
[Music]
and with dignity with respect
in silence turn to a
partner the first person this is the
good person
in silence with dignity with respect
thank you
two is better if you are three
it’s ok but two is better
and first of all
I invite you to pay your attention
on your heart confesses for now
does not care about the partner yet
know who it is
and put your heart on your hand
if you know where your heart is in all
case
and health beat him
health the beat of your heart
maybe fast can be slowly
health in your hand as he
throbs
and know that if your heart beats
it is that you are alive
it’s always good news
and now you feel good about your
beat heart you can watch
the other your partner in the eyes
always with the hand on the heart
always in silence
always in silence
you will be able to talk to him but after
and I invite you to forward to
through your heart that beats to
pass on to the other person I chose
love
silently
pass on I chose love by your
look
pass on I chose love by your
beating heart
and know that if your heart beats
heart beats too
and we have this in common a heart
who beats each his own
and continue to transmit I chose
love
with dignity with respect
in the silence
and perceive what it changes in you and
dare to open your heart a little bit
plus half a millimeter saying I
chose love over time without
open your heart a little bit
more
it’s sometimes painful so says
think I chose love
and observe what changes in you
and in your relationship to each other when
you open your heart and that the other
open his heart too because during
that you pass on you can
also receive this message I chose
love
knowing that you always have access
to this resource in your heart this
heartbeat he is still there
[Music]
and now you can with the formula
akwaba to arrive well thank your
partner
[Applause]
at Christmas
that we carry the future in our
heart
when we carry love in our
heart
that we connect our all
inner power
we can individually and
together
[Music]
help put our talents to the service
of humanity and thus change the world
thank you
